Storage system
First Claim
1. A storage system for securing a weapon or valuable item comprising:
- an outer housing assembly comprising;
an elongated housing having a non-rotatable curved inner structure; and
an arcuate housing door that rotates concentrically about a longitudinal axis and partially within and adjacent to the non-rotatable curved inner structure, wherein the arcuate housing door rotates about the longitudinal axis between;
a closed position that prevents access to an internal compartment within the elongated housing; and
an open position that provides an access opening of approximately 180 degrees about the longitudinal axis into the internal compartment within the elongated housing; and
a mount for receiving the weapon or valuable item; and
the arcuate housing door including a lower floor plate positioned below the mount and rotatable around the mount.

Abstract
A storage system having an outer housing assembly including an elongated housing with a curved structure and a cylindrical housing secured adjacent to the curved structure partially within the elongated housing. The cylindrical housing rotates between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, access to the internal compartment within the cylindrical housing is prevented. In the open position, an access opening into the internal compartment within the cylindrical housing is provided. A locking mechanism is provided in the cylindrical housing to prevent rotation or permit rotation of the cylindrical housing when the locking mechanism is in a locked position or an unlocked position respectively. In the locked position, the locking mechanism prevents the cylindrical housing from rotating into the open position.

17. A weapons storage system for securing a weapon or valuable item, comprising:
-
an outer housing comprising; an elongated housing having a non-rotatable curved inner structure; an arcuate housing door that rotates concentrically about a longitudinal axis within and adjacent to the non-rotatable curved inner structure, the arcuate housing door rotates between a locked position to prevent access to an internal compartment within the elongated housing, and an unlocked position to permit an access opening of approximately 180 degrees about the longitudinal axis into the internal compartment; a removable cassette having a quick disconnect mounting assembly adapted to secure the removable cassette for receiving the weapon within the elongated housing, wherein the arcuate housing door includes a lower floor plate positioned below the quick disconnect mounting assembly and is rotatable around the quick disconnect mounting assembly; and a locking mechanism provided in the elongated housing to unlock and lock the arcuate housing door, where, in the locked position, the arcuate housing door is prevented from rotating from a closed position to an open position. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
